- Doug,
- IBM understands the need to be aable to exchange EA's over NFS, and this
- past Summer, I posted a draft copy of an EA exchange protocol that would be
- able to enhance NFS to do just that (I was a co-op working for IBM at the
- time). NFS in and of itself doesn't have support for anything like EA's, so
- an additional protocol like this would have to be used.
